R500 Air Filter Change Instructions

The attachment contains instructions for replacing the engine air filters on a
R500. I am not sure how close this is to those on a R350, but maybe you can get a good idea as to how do it for that engine by looking at these for the R500. The only trick to this job is having the right male & female Torx sockets/bits on hand.

Does anyone have a DIY (preferablly with pics) to do the transfer case fluid change and differentials? I am planning on doing this next week and would like to know all the necessary tools and location of the drain and fill plugs on my 2006 R350. I did a search on google but didn't really come up with anything other than fluid recommendations.

I just saw some video where they can use other Central Gateways.
You can try. I dont think it is exact chassis specific.
These guys are one of the best diagnostic video channel

They also changed out the Central Gateway Module that appears to be 211 first few numbers of the part number A2114452500 ZGS 001
